When not in NYC there are certain things from here that I miss dearly. The subway, the holiday window displays, Times Square, and the Chinese food. The large selection of Chinese food eateries found in this city is unlike any I have ever seen in any other American states and I have to say, I [Continue]

Yes, it’s cold and it’s tempting to stay home and warm. However, when you have kids bouncing off the walls and a desire to stretch those legs yourself, it’s necessary to bundle up and head outside. We were eager to go for a walk, but didn’t want to venture to far to have do so [Continue]

Now that the Holiday season is long gone, many New Yorkers are feeling that the only thing remaining is  the cold with nothing much to do. So many are left longing for the warm weather. But there are still plenty of places that continue to celebrate the Winter season. One such place is a favorite [Continue]

On a cold, blistering Winter’s night, my husband and I decided to hit the streets of New York in search of some comforting Italian food. We made our way to Pó in the West Village, located on the then quiet street of Cornelia. The streets were void of pedestrians as everyone tried to stay dry [Continue]

When I heard the news of Eataly’s opening (located at 200 Fifth Avenue), I decided to wait out the excitement of the crowds that I knew would surely follow. And follow it did, with people waiting on long lines for the many authentic Italian goods, as well as a chance to eat at one of [Continue]

For me, one of my favorite sensations is sitting back and enjoying the lull of a train taking me to some new and exciting destination. This might not be the case for someone living in New York City or another city that uses metros heavily, but in San Diego, using the public metro isn’t very [Continue]

I know who the Three Kings are. Know all about that frankincense and myrrh. But what I didn’t know is that for Spaniards (and other Spanish speaking countries), El Dia de los Tres Reyes is bigger than Christmas. And it’s especially big in Barcelona. Before the 6th of January, kids and adults write letters to [Continue]

I spend a lot of time in the year planning trips with my family. Sometimes, it’s impossible to coordinate all the schedules and fit them into a trip, which sadly means it never happens. For all of those who have experienced the hassle of travel planning, Visit Orlando wants you to know that they understand and [Continue]
